Post subject:  Re: MPTM's new home
I am having some issue with MPTM on my broker (Bully Pepperstone) - AU,GU,EU 5 digits after comma, XAU 2 digits, UJ & XAG 3 digits. It handles most pairs I am on (EU,GU,AU,UC) just fine, but when it comes to UJ,XAU,XAG it closes the trades as soon as there is one pip move. This is an example I got from UJ from alerts: Stop loss hit. Close of USDJPY ticket no ###### failed with error (4108) : invalid ticket.

Attached is my set file in case you wish to examine if perhaps one of my settings that causes the issue. I have searched both on FF and here and didn't find any information on this error. Perhaps I should add two instances of MPTM, one on EU to handle 5 digit currencies and one on UJ for 3 digit and run it with 'manage specific pairs'?

How do I change the setting to:

SL = PT
Shift SL BE after reaching 25% (0.25) ATR (period 20, TF 1440)

Hallo,

Which version of MPTM are you using? Is it the one from the first post of this thread?



== Reason I ask ==

MPTM factors in 3,4,5-digit pairs, including JPYs, Gold and Silver. It should be working OK.
If you're not using the MPTM in post #1 of this thread, try it then holla back if the problem is still there.
double PFactor(string pair)
{
double Pipfactor=10000; // correct factor for most pairs

if (StringFind(pair,"JPY",0) != -1 || StringFind(pair,"XAG",0) != -1)
Pipfactor = 100; // if jpy or silver

if (StringFind(pair,"XAU",0) != -1)
Pipfactor = 10; // if gold

return (Pipfactor);

}
==

Cheers

Just figured it. Removed BE and left JS with hidden JS on. Enabled one click trading (my bad, forgot it was off!) and now everything works as intended. Placed both GU & UJ trades and it works fine.

Update: It seems to be broken with UJ when you are on the sell side, same must apply for other non 5-digit currencies/metals. Works fine with the 5-digit ones on both buy/sell sides.

Btw Steve, you should put some disclaimer in the code that the EA is free and if anyone bought it they should request a refund:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Forex-Excellent ... 1141397178

Would help reporting such sellers with ebay or paypal, which they use to sell EA's.

I know, but the sellers would remove it.

I do make the occasional desultory attempt to get in touch with ebay but their bloody site rejects every attempt I make to log on. Not a clue how to do so and ebay appears to have no way of recovering logon details. If logging on is necessary to use ebay. Don't know - tis about 8 years since I last bought anything there and have never sold anything.

If anyone has any idea how to stop these bastards flogging my free software for a profit to themselves, do please let me know how it is done. ebay clearly couldn't give a shit so long as they are making their money.

Cheers

I have an idea for you about this, so if you answer my question that i posted long time ago and as a reminder here it is again:
I wonder if it's possible to set up the following senario: I want to set brake even to 130pips, and then it should secure 80pips and i want to use trail stop when i reach 150pips, and then i want to trail with 35pips.

So to explain it easy, when i reach 130pips in profit, it should move BE/SL to 90pips, then when i reach 150pips it should use trail stop with 35pips.

Is this possible to set up ?


I will hand you the answer anyway :-), why not go in and dump the price on ebay with exactly the same headline as they have, they are selling it for $99, why not sell the same for $9.99 and explain that ur the codewrite behind it, this way all the ones who have bought it for $99 will have to ask they fckheads why they had to pay that much.

I am still having the issue of MPTM closing down all my short trades immediately upon placing them, so I would appreciate if someone could take a look at it.
